Phantom Brave: The Lost Hero to add Castile and Walnut as DLC, plus more characters

Publishers NIS America and Nippon Ichi Software have announced that Phantom Brave: The Lost Hero will launch for Switch worldwide on January 30th, 2025. A demo is planned for the title and will see release sometime in 2024. Today, some new details have been shared about what to expect in terms of DLC.

Nippon Ichi Software has confirmed that both Castile and Walnut will appear in Phantom Brave: The Lost Hero as DLC characters, but that’s not all. Fans can also expect to see characters from other Nippon Ichi Software games to pop up as DLC as well. While that’s certainly exciting news, Nippon Ichi stopped short of sharing what characters or games we can expect to see represented.

Phantom Brave: The Lost Hero is a colorful RPG set in Ivoire, a world dotted with many diverse islands. The story follows the adventures of a young girl named Marona, who can communicate with Phantoms, the spirits of the dead. In battle, players utilize the “Confine” system to summon their Phantom allies by having them possess items on the map. Units can move around freely on the battlefield, and a high level of over-the-top customization options are available!
